Epig. XI. In Pontiam.

A friend of mine with a loue feuor taken
To the faire rose-cheekt Pontia, and forsaken,

Did wish that I with mine owne eyes would proue
If any could dislike, what he did loue,
I did, and as he said, for face and feature,
Pontia at first did seeme an heauenly Creature;
But strange to tel, this gold was copper gilt,
Comming abroad, her beautie all was soilt,
Blowne from her cheekes by the blind Garlick man;
Then lookt she like deaths picture pale and wan,
My freind admir'd; but I did shew the reason:
Though to such beauties, I doe know 'twas treason,
Yet they know wel, that any Fustilugges
May buy such beautie in a shop of drugges;
Then courage friend quoth I for six pence cost,
Thy best beloued may buy, what she hath lost;
With that loues feuor left him and he swore
Rather then loue such drugges, hee'd loue a ---.
